My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Pebbles
Age: Approximately 7–8 months
Species: Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
Gender: Unknown
Personality: Calm and easygoing

Pebbles’ Story
Pebbles was surrendered by their previous owners due to frequent traveling. With a more stable environment, Pebbles will be able to thrive and continue growing into a confident, healthy adult gecko.

Personality & Handling
Pebbles has a calm, gentle temperament and does well with routine care. Leopard geckos are generally tolerant of handling when done slowly and respectfully, making them a great choice for both first-time and experienced reptile keepers.

About Leopard Geckos as Pets
Leopard geckos are one of the most popular pet reptiles—and for good reason!
Beginner-friendly: Hardy and relatively easy to care for
Nocturnal/crepuscular: Most active in the evening
Handleable: Typically docile with regular, gentle interaction
Terrestrial: Do not require climbing space like some gecko species
Long-lived: Can live 15–20 years with proper care

Basic Care Overview
Diet: Live insects such as crickets and mealworms, supplemented with calcium and vitamins
Habitat: Warm, dry enclosure with a heat source, hides, and proper temperature gradient
Lighting: Does not require UVB but can benefit from low-level UVB when provided correctly
Temperatures: Warm side ~88–92°F, cool side ~75–80°F

Ideal Home
Pebbles would do best in a home ready to provide consistent care, a proper setup, and a calm environment. Whether you’re new to reptiles or adding to an existing collection, Pebbles has the potential to be a wonderful companion. Please complete an adoption application:
